David,
Hope to join you. Iffy at the moment as the aircraft is in dock. Will only
know for certain after Monday (possibly) when the repair has been completed.
Regards,
Dari

> There is one small restaurant which would seat about 30 but given

>to come. Please let me know soonest if you will come if weather allows,
>ideally with plane type and reg, + no pax. We can then give them numbers
>and reduce it nearer the time if the weather is dodgy. All those who email
>back to me will be kept updated with any modification of plans.
> The timetable that the struts are working to is:
> Arrive Turweston 11.30 to 12.00
> Eat, talk and presents to PFA 12.00 to 13.30
> Departures 13.30 to 14.30
> Sunset approx 15.45
> Happy landings, David Joyce
